Too many of their natural ressources are still in foreign hands, we'll just continue to make them suffer for their rebellion, under the guise of human rights..

It's ridiculous that this needs to be done. Water utilities are the definition of a public good and natural monopoly. Any developing country whose water utilities are privately owned will have water access and shortage issues, as the "costs" of the infrastructure to provide drinking water to all threaten the easy profit of sitting back and forcing people to pay, lest they die from disease or dehydration.
